Symmetry Patterns Practice Worksheet

Symmetry patterns illustration

🔍 Part 1: Understanding Symmetry

1. What is line symmetry?

When a shape can be folded in half and both sides match exactly

When a shape has lots of colours

When a shape is very big

2. What is rotational symmetry?

When a shape spins very fast

When a shape looks the same after being turned around a centre point

When a shape has straight lines

3. Which of these patterns could have line symmetry? (Tick all that apply)

A butterfly pattern

A heart shape

A zigzag line going only one way

A flower with petals all around

✏️ Part 2: Creating Your Own Patterns

4. Draw a pattern that shows line symmetry. Use the grid below to help you make it neat.

Hint: Draw half of your pattern, then draw the other half as a mirror image!

5. Now draw a pattern that shows rotational symmetry. Use the grid below.

Hint: Start with a simple shape in the centre, then repeat it as you turn around!

6. Look at your line symmetry pattern from question 4. Where would you draw the line of symmetry?
7. Describe your rotational symmetry pattern from question 5. How many times does it look the same when you turn it around once?

🎨 Part 3: Challenge Activity

8. Can you create a pattern that has BOTH line symmetry AND rotational symmetry? Draw it below and explain how it shows both types of symmetry.
Explanation:
9. Look around your classroom or think about things at home. Name two objects that have line symmetry and two objects that have rotational symmetry.

Objects with line symmetry: _________________ and _________________

Objects with rotational symmetry: _________________ and _________________
